1 Early the next morning, Joshua and all the Israelites got up and left Acacia. They traveled to the Jordan River and camped there before they crossed it.
2 After three days the leaders went through the camp.
3 They gave orders to the people: “When you see the Levite priests carrying the Box of the Agreement of the Lord your God, follow them.
4 But do not follow too closely. Stay about 1000 yards behind them. You have not been here before, but if you follow them, you will know where to go.”
